I have an adult son with ID. He does not qualify for coverage under Obama care.

I'm sorry but what is ID? I thought the ACA (obamacare) covered pre-existing conditions?

I'm sorry your son didn't qualify. I didn't have any problems with it myself and have been covered under it for 3 years. Why didn't he qualify?

Well, Obamacare has made my sister's and BIL's lives a living hell. 75% of their total income goes to their "Obama-snare," and to top it off, they have a $6,000 spend down; which means they have to still dish out $6,000 before any of medical expenses are covered.
 I haven't had it quite so bad; but, I need prescription glasses, and I have to pay $75 before my medicaid will pay for it.  I have scoliosis, arthritis, bone spurs in my spine, osteopirosis, a crooked ankle-which exasburates everything, AND degenarative disc disease. So, I am in horrific pain. But, Ican't get get any treatment because it's not covered. SSA sees that as non-compliance so I can't get SSI.

Obamacare has gotten me covered by both Medicaid and Medicare. I'm honestly scared to death about what the dismantling of it will do to me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
